The 2023 Clos des Rocs Pouilly-Loché Révélation is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear alongside green apple, white flowers, citrus zest and subtle hazelnut. The 2023 vintage gives the wine a bright, energetic character, with generous orchard fruit balanced by lively acidity. Fine stony and saline nuances add depth, while gentle savoury notes bring further complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon, pear and white peach are complemented by subtle floral, nutty and savoury characters, while a fine mineral streak provides tension, definition and length. The palate is rounded yet focused, with a refreshing saline lift adding complexity through the mid-palate. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, leaving lingering citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stony notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers seeking an expressive southern Burgundy with freshness, texture, mineral detail and refined fruit character. It is approachable in its youth but has enough acidity and structure to develop additional savoury and nutty complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve lightly chilled with butter-poached marron, seared scallops with brown butter, grilled turbot with lemon butter, roast chicken with tarragon and morels, or mushroom and leek risotto.
